Target: President Cyril Ramaphosa, South Africa
Goal: Advocate for a ban on trophy hunting as a form of “conservation,” to prevent unsustainable wildlife declines.
Trophy hunting involves killing wild animals like elephants, rhinos, and big cats for sport, with the aim of obtaining their body parts as a “trophy.” Despite being marketed as a form of conservation, this practice has been shown to have negative effects on wildlife populations, as it often targets the strongest and healthiest animals, leading to unsustainable population declines.
In addition to causing ecological damage, trophy hunting also has ethical implications, as it involves the killing of sentient beings for recreational purposes. The practice has been criticized for being cruel and unnecessary, with many alternatives available for conservation efforts that do not involve killing.
The detrimental impact of trophy hunting on wildlife populations cannot be overstated. Immediate action must be taken to ban this practice to mitigate the catastrophic effects on South Africa’s precious biodiversity and wildlife populations.
The ban on trophy hunting as a form of conservation is a crucial step in preserving South Africa’s wildlife populations. The practice of trophy hunting threatens to disrupt the natural balance of ecosystems, with knock-on effects on other species and the environment as a whole. In conjunction with the ban, it is imperative to encourage the use of alternative methods of conservation that do not involve killing.
In light of the urgent need to protect our environment and preserve the biodiversity of South Africa’s wildlife populations, we call for swift and decisive action to ban trophy hunting as a form of conservation. Through proactive measures such as these, we can ensure a brighter and more sustainable future for generations to come.
Through the ban of trophy hunting as a form of conservation, we can prevent unsustainable population declines in South Africa’s wildlife populations. This will help to protect our environment and preserve the health of our ecosystems. Demand action immediately.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear President Ramaphosa,
I am writing to urge you to advocate for the ban of trophy hunting as a form of conservation to prevent unsustainable population declines in South Africa’s wildlife populations. Trophy hunting has been shown to have negative effects on wildlife populations, as it often targets the strongest and healthiest animals, leading to unsustainable population declines.
The practice of trophy hunting has been marketed as a form of conservation, but it is clear that the detrimental impact on wildlife populations cannot be overlooked. The killing of sentient beings for recreational purposes has also raised ethical concerns.
To address this issue, we must take action to ban the use of trophy hunting as a form of conservation. This will help to prevent unsustainable population declines in South Africa’s wildlife populations and preserve the natural balance of ecosystems. In addition, we must encourage the use of alternative methods of conservation that do not involve killing.
We urge you to take immediate action and support the ban of trophy hunting as a form of conservation to protect our environment and preserve the health of our ecosystems.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

YOU USELESS PIECES OF TRASH TO HUNT DOWN ANY ANIMAL FOR SPORT.!!!!!!!! YOU LOOK DISGUSTING IN THAT PHOTO.
IT’S MURDER. MAKE IT ILLEGAL PUNISHABLE BY TIME AND FINES! STOP THIS IMMEDIATELY BY MAKING IT A CRIME OF ANIMAL CRUELTY. IF THAT ISN’T THEN DON’T KNOW WHAT IS????????????
ANIMALS SHOULD BE GIVEN GUNS…SEE HOW YOU LIKE THAT!
Amen! I totally agree!
Do you know that the owner of Jimmy John’s (a fat f**k) is a big trophy hunter? Boycott JJ!
Yes I knew that
He makes me sick. I don’t eat there!!!
All the worst sickest human criminals should be used, and hunted for sport instead. Hunters still get to hunt, and maybe some victim retribution too!! Saves $$$ on penal costs
for criminals, and they are removed from society to never repeat crimes. Since SO MANY DO REPEAT CRIMES. Use them for medical testing, not animals!!! Criminals take their victims rights so to me, they DON’T DESERVE ANY RIGHTS, except the RIGHT TO BE HUNTED DOWN AND KILLED!!! Also aids in population control, especially if disposing of useless trash!!!
I haven’t eaten there and now, I never will! Thanks for letting me know.
Let the hunter BECOME THE HUNTED!! ANIMAL ADVOCATES MUST RISE UP AND FIND A WAY TO ELIMINATE THE VILE SCUM WHO THINK ITS OK TO TORTURE, ABUSE AND KILL ANIMALS. TOO MANY VILE HUMANS IN THE WORLD ANYWAY. ANY NAVY SEALS, SPECIAL FORCES VETERANS WHO LOVE AND ADVOCATE FOR ANIMALS OUT HERE????
You are very correct! That a**hole IS a hunter and i REFUSED to eat at Jimmy johns for many years. However that jerk sold JJ’s a few years ago so he doesn’t own it anymore so we can eat their sandwiches again! If that jack*** is still hunting I hope someone shoots HIM and he lays there and suffers like he makes the animals do! I also hope there’s a special place in hell for people who shoot wild game for sport or those who harm or abuse animals!! That’s the only thing that gets me through when I hear this stuff! That and doing everything I can to jeep stop animal cruelty!!!
Could someone burn his fucking place down?
Just for a trophy you understand!!
Couldn’t agree more, Maria. They are useless pieces of trash! Why don’t they do all of us and the animals a favor? If they have such a bloodlust and need to kill, WHY DON’T THEY HUNT EACH OTHER OUT OF EXISTENCE!
THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE BEEN SAYING HUNT EACH OTHER THEY ARE NOTHING MORE THAN LESS THAN HUMAN BEINGS SICK PHYCOPATHS!!!
Agree absolutely!
This will never stop. You have a lot of God believing people that believe animals were given to them by God. If they use God it’s their excuse to torture, suffering of animals with no guilt. This type of religion is just a cult. I personally would never follow any religion that allows for animals to get hurt. Unfortunately it’s been going on for centuries. Look around, the world is following apart because of greed, me,me, attitude. It’s time to wake up and think about your neighbor over yourself, and be kind to all living things. People that hunt are in some serious need of therapy.
God has NOTHING to do with “trophy hunting”, what is wrong with you! People, who believe in God, as do I, do NOT condone ANY form of cruelty to ANY animals! And, yes, God DID provide animals, as He provided us, and without them to sustain humans for thousands of years, none of us would be here even having this discussion. “Trophy” hunting, and those that participate are despicable, and it MUST end, but don’t blame those of us, who believe in God, I don’t even like to see a bug suffer!!
Yes they sure are in need of serious ‘therapy’. A bullet through the back of their heads. That’ s the only ‘therapy’ that these arrogant murdering fuckers need!!!
Human beings have a choice, to either inflict pain and suffering or choose to protect and love. Which are you?
This practice of shooting animals for trophies or any other absurd reason is heartbreaking and morally repugnant.
So disgusting and senseless…to murder an innocent majestic wild animal just for bragging rights or a trophy is beyond despicable! Obviously, the creeps who do this have no respect for life! It is way past time to protect these animals from heartless, egotistical hunters, and @ the same time protect our ecosystem, by banning and making it criminal to senselessly and cruelly hunt just for sport and a trophy!
Hope those scum bags come down with a nasty case of terminal cancer for what they are doing. Then I will have a big fat smile on my face
Someone ought to shoot these assholes
They also need to ban the heinous “sport” called “caged hunting”, where they lead a gorgeous lion (usually) is put into a small cage 5hen a bunch of filthy hunters MURDER that beauty. THIS MUST STOP! It is every bit as bad, if not worse than trophy hunting. Same with release hunts where the animal is in a cage, released only to be gunned down. These legalized murder tactics make me ASHAMED to be part of a life form that murders for the “sport” of it.
I’d love to put all these evil SOBs in a pen and shoot them down! I know that sounds pretty cold blooded but not nearly as bad as what they do! Plus, then the world could rest a little easier knowing these murderers are no longer on this planet.
They look so proud, like they would have wrestled this icon of nature down with their own hands. What looser, think they are the greatest, but without guns, they are NOTHING!
Pathetic human is the lowest form of life killing magnificent animals like elephants who have more brains and feelings then humans. The South African government needs to do more to protect animals from poachers and trophy hunters. Only a sicko gets pleasure in killing innocent animals for a trophy.
STOP this BARBARIC PRACTICE ‼️‼️‼️😩💔
Wish they were Under the elephant instead of on top
Trophy hunters are sick selfish, narcissist’s who only care about themselves. Stupid self centered pricks. LOCK THEEM UP before the destroy the remaining lives of mothers earths beings!!!
ANYONE who enjoys killing another living creature for fun is a PSYCHOPATH.
Yes, and unfortunately there are a great number of these bastards roaming around!!
They sit up there and pose for pictures, being so damn proud of what they think is admirable. These pieces of crap don’t impress me one little bit. It’s too bad animals can’t shoot back. I would love to be able to help animals fight back against these idiots. That one punk, is smiling now, just he wait when he will have to karma for what he has done to god’s creatures. Knowing that, I will be smiling then.
Hunters are the filth of the earth. They pose with the innocent animals they’ve murdered in cold blood. Grinning like they really did something good. If hunters want sport, hunt each other! Leave the animals alone.
The only good hunter is a dead hunter. Hunt the hunters!!
Too fucking right.
Way to go Sister Michelle.
100% agree!!
This EXTREME ENVIRONMENTAL CRIME must be banned!
Your GREED is very short-sighted.
Hunters are 100% human garbage!!! Totally worthless scumbags!
Trophy hunters are a bunch of worthless low life cowardly DOUCHE NOZZLES!! It doesn’t matter if they’re male or female!!
They are so fucking gutless they’d piss & shit their pants if someone decided to do the same thing to them.
Such hero’s they are (Well .. actually ZERO’s)
Here’s an idea .. go hunt each other. It’s more of a challenge when the prey you hunt .. can shoot back!!!
